Get a good Antenna and mount. I mounted mine to the rear tire carrier on my TJ. Fire sticks are good antennas. Make sure that you use a good cable. Use some RG8x Coax.
I get mine Pre-made From here Home | MPD Digital RF Coaxial Cables . You can find Radios on Craig's list all day long. I do like the newer ones that have a PA Plug as well as Noaa weather stations 1001LWX CB Radio with Weather Scan | Midland Radio Corporation
